Title: Lonnie Sneed Sr. - Still Making Calls?
Post by: Willieva on May 02, 2025, 11:00:07 AM
Does anyone know if Mr. Sneed is still producing calls? Was thinking about giving him a call in a month or so once the season has died down. Really excited to chat with the legend himself but just wanted to check to make sure I wouldn't be bothering him if he's stopped.

He had surgery here recently but should be getting back in the mix. Good luck, because I suspect that his phone will be ringing off the hook especially since a few of his calls are all of a sudden going for insane prices on ebay, for what reason that's suddenly occurred, I haven't a clue. If I recall, his son in law or some family member has stepped in to learn and began helping him make calls. I've had his Outlaw Hen slate for a good while and definitely like it.

Thanks so much! I've seen the eBay craziness and, while I'm sure they're great calls, have been left scratching my head. Figured if they're going for an arm and a leg I may as well try to give my money to the man himself!

That being said, if anyone has one of his calls they'd be willing to let go of for a reasonable price, my messages are open!

 I can promise you they will be taken into the woods and hunted regularly.

I can't wrap my head around it, you definitely need to try and go to the source. I think I paid $50/$60 for mine when I got it, I could be mistaken but it was definitely not some $100+ price for sure. I hunt mine pretty often.

I would go ahead and give him a call, even if he isn't back up and building yet, he always loves to chat. Keep us posted if you talk with him.

Think his calls now are $75 each which is way better than what eBay is getting .
